Dispute Resolution

Pernille advises clients across the shipping, marine and commodities sectors, with a practice focused on international disputes. She regularly acts for and represents shipowners, charterers, traders and P&I Clubs in proceedings before the English High Court and in international arbitration under a variety of institutional rules.

Her experience covers a broad range of disputes arising out of charterparties, bills of lading, sale of goods contracts and other commercial agreements. Pernille is frequently involved in matters involving redelivery disputes, underperformance, crane breakdowns, laytime and demurrage, off hire issues and cargo damage claims. She also assists clients in responding to major marine casualties, including vessel fires, container loss and salvage.

Her background includes time spent working in-house with a Danish shipowner and operator, an experience that provides her with valuable commercial insight and a pragmatic, solutions driven approach to dispute resolution.
